Skin Tag Removal Clinic in London
If you’re considering having your skin tags removed, you can arrange a no-obligation consultation with our skin specialists in London. We provide impartial advice on the skin tag and skin lesion removal methods that are most appropriate for your situation.
What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that typically appear on areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, armpits, eyelids, groin, and under the breasts.
They are made of loose collagen fibers and blood vessels, often flesh-colored or slightly darker, and can range in size from a few millimeters to a couple of centimeters. While harmless and non-cancerous, they may become irritated by friction or clothing.
Though their exact cause is unknown, factors like genetics, obesity, and insulin resistance may contribute. Skin tags can be removed through freezing, cutting, or tying off, but medical consultation is advised for safe removal.
Our Skin Tag Removal Methods
At The Harley Skin Clinics, we offer cutting-edge acne treatments designed to effectively target breakouts, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term skin health. Using state-of-the-art technology and scientifically proven methods, our treatments cater to both active acne and acne scarring.
Cryo Pen Treatment
The Cryo Pen is a non-invasive treatment that removes skin tags by freezing them with liquid nitrogen, causing them to fall off naturally.
Benefits:
- Quick and painless procedure
- No cutting or bleeding
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
- Safe for most skin types
How It Works:
The Cryo Pen delivers a precise jet of liquid nitrogen to the skin tag, freezing the tissue instantly. Over the following days, the frozen tag darkens and naturally falls off, leaving behind smooth skin.
Plasma Pen Treatment
The Plasma Pen uses plasma energy to cauterize and shrink skin tags, promoting natural healing and regeneration.
Benefits:
- Precise and controlled treatment
- Stimulates collagen production for better skin healing
- Minimal risk of scarring
- No direct skin contact, reducing infection risk
How It Works:
The Plasma Pen creates a controlled micro-injury by delivering plasma energy to the skin tag. This dehydrates the tag, which then dries up and falls off naturally within a few days, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skin tag removal is a safe procedure when completed by the practitioners at Harley Laser. Performed in a clinical environment by highly skilled and trained practitioners we adhere to strict protocols that both meet and exceed all statutory regulations and requirements.
Our treatments ensure that skin tags are permanently removed but cannot prevent new skin tags from growing in the future.
With different treatments, there are slightly different results. Skin tags are fully removed with excision removal treatment, and a small white or pink scar will remain in its place. Cryotherapy causes the skin tag to fall off naturally, but in some cases, slight discoloration of the skin and irritation may occur. This is only temporary, and the skin will gradually return to normal.
Skin tags can be removed for cosmetic reasons unless your doctor believes there are medical reasons to leave the skin tag in place. We are able to help many patients who cannot receive NHS treatment and we understand how important it is to provide this service – skin tags can cause low self-esteem which can be restored with a simple treatment.
Once your skin tag has been removed, your skin may feel tender for several days afterwards and may need to be covered. You will be given full aftercare instructions, and a dressing may be applied by your practitioner if it is deemed necessary. It is extremely rare to experience complications you are free to leave the clinic as soon as the anaesthetic has worn off.
Removal by excision will leave a small white or pink scar, while cryotherapy carries a small risk of scarring and discolouration.
Skin tag removal treatment is quick and virtually painless. Local anaesthetic can be applied during your skin tag removal procedure but if anything, the procedure is slightly uncomfortable rather than painful – but due to the speed it is not a problem.
We offer two methods of skin tag removal – laser removal and cryotherapy. We will work with you to determine the method that is best suited to your needs.
